"Hear ye the word of the Goddess,

She in the dust of whose feet are the hosts of heaven,

and whose body encircles the Universe.

 

I who am the beauty of the Green Earth,

The White Moon amoung the Stars,

And the mystery of the waters call unto my soul,

Arise, and come unto me.

 

I am the soul of nature who gives life to the Universe,

From me all things proceed,

And unto me all things must return.

Before my face,

Beloved of Gods and men,

Let thine innermost divine self be enfolded in the rapture of the infinite.

 

Let My worship be within the heart the rejoices,

For behold,

All acts of love and pleasure are My rituals.

Therefore let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion,

Honour and humility, mirth and reverance within you.

 

To thou whi thinkest to seek me,

Know thatthy seeking and yearning shall avail thee not unless thou knowest the mystery,

If that which thou seekest,

Thou findest not in thee,

Thou wilt never find it without.

 

For behold,

I have been with thee from the beginning,

And I am that which is attained at the end of desire."
